Finally, they made a promotion that makes some kind of sense. Georgas was in SOS, TRU and the Marine/Helicopter Unit. It certainly makes sense that he would get Special Functions. Like the guy or not, he does have the experience of his command. Hopefully, he will now correct the things that were wrong with all of these units in the past.

Eric Washington has been nothing but a prince since he took the reigns in 011. He went out of his way to remember every P.O.'s first name I've ever seen him converse with. He was approachable and often asked P.O.'s their input on a variety of things affecting the district. In short, he WASN'T a jagoff AND he knew what he was doing.

Whose brainstorm was it to declare him in any way responsible for the crime rate in 011? I believe the stats (if they haven't been doctored in any form) show the 011th District in the 2nd-place spot for activity. It's not like he hasn't made a positive difference since he got here.

Whoever is ultimately responsible for his demotion is truly an imbecile.

Hang in there, BOSS. Guys like you usually have a way of landing on their feet.

People I've never spoken to will be replaced by people I will never speak with.

How am I supposed to handle this massive shakeup of people I will never meet?

In all the districts I have been I have never once spoken to a commander other than to say hello on the rare occassion he passed me in the hall and said hello first. I never asked for anything. I never wanted anything from him. I never even wanted him to know who I was.

To all these poor souls who miss the old boss or hate the new boss, just remember. A dick is a dick. If you haven't already asked yourself why you're sucking it, why should you care whose dick it is?

CO Washington was at 1st watch roll call not a handful of days ago pretty much thanking us and seemed to show up to tell us to continue backing each other up and to be safe. Regardless of if he'd had a heads up at the time or not, I respected that, and him.

Normally I don't care about this stuff but WOW. Eric Washington Dumped. And Penny taking his place? Good God. Eric is a stand up guy and good boss. And Penny is, wellllll, Penny. God Help you Officers in 011.

Commander Washington,While I was never under your command per se, since I am detailed out. I have seen you many times in action in the 011th district and you sir will be missed. That's the thing J Dud doesn't realize you are the type of Boss that guys and gals would work for happily. You GOT IT you UNDERSTOOD the west side and police work. You knew the ins and outs of the area, the limitations and the abilities of those under you. Not once at all the places I have been where J Dud shows his mongrel head does he ever take time to say hello and shake hands. You always did. You always said hello and how's it going that little bit goes a long way in a po's book. I can't imagine the headache JJ must get every day he's with that idiot. Stay Safe God Bless and theses times to shall pass.

Four threads down under "Fifty New Cops!" (7/29; 9:50 PM), I am still laughing at the satirical genius of "IOWAHAWK", now known as one David Burge.

This blogger is a hilariously conservative national treasure. If you thought that "Cambridge Police Profiling Still A Grim Reality for Harvard Faculty Assholes" was satire at its best, check his blogs below it on "Chappaquiddick Teddy" and Sonia "Wise Latina" Sotomayor. "IOWAHAWK" is so wickedly hysterical, I strongly recommend that SCC include his blog under "Links for Right Thinking People" in the right column of the SCC blue screen:

The Greek Community but more important, the Daley Family!

Knew both of his parents, they ran a hotel restaurant in 018 (Andrews), both were very nice and good people.(no tax for de boys)

When his parents announced that he was entering the academy, he was juiced in from minute one. Made Sgt. a few years later, way ahead of the curve, (his parents knew he would be made before anyone else did, wow, what a surprize).

So what I work 2nd watch in 011, you think I'm going to do anything??? I will continue to get my 2 event numbers and coast the rest of the day. What are they going to do to me send me to a worse district???

Finally, they made a promotion that makes some kind of sense. Georgas was in SOS, TRU and the Marine/Helicopter Unit. It certainly makes sense that he would get Special Functions. Like the guy or not, he does have the experience of his command. Hopefully, he will now correct the things that were wrong with all of these units in the past.

OK, GET REAL. A lot of what went wrong with any of these units in the past was the fact that they had clout babies like Georges there instead of real policemen. THE EXPERIENCE OF HIS COMMAND; THIS JERK IS 39 YEARS OLD. Why is the 018th District celebrating tonight? The same reason the Marine had their own CPD Venetian Night and Fireworks Show when Georges was transferred. HE IS A JERK!!!!

Please, the ADS spot he fortunately got also fortunately detailed qualifications that only he and one other commander had. It wasn't such a guess who was going to be the one chosen. It was really written for just any commander to have a chance.

I'm sure he's a nice guy and all. Its been said that he's been clout heavy since he got on this job. I guess you could look at his age and his rank to draw that conclusion or decide that he must be brilliant. Certainly people from 018 don't think the latter. Stay tuned to see where his buddy CK now gets moved. They've appeared to be tag team when it comes to promotions.

It was a real pleasure working for you commander washington. You knew everybodys name and even though all the bosses always say it, your door was truely open to everyone all the time. We will miss you commander. Who ever is under him now you all are very lucky.keep your head up boss.

Please please please please take EB out of the chief of ocd. Come on Steve P, you know you made a mistake in picking him. He dont know whats he doing and he been there long enough to cause enough damage. Give us a good chief like you gave the dicks. OCD suffered enough. Send 3x merit EB to Area 4 with 3x merit Green and they can live the old days together. Just heard they made WG the D/C. Everytime you think they cant top themselves with stupidity, they do.

Supt.Weis made a big mistake dumping C/O Washington(011). What happen to building morale Jody? The entire 011th Dist. respected C/O Wash as working Policeman. You will be missed. Good luck in ur new assignment.

I don't care how good of a guy anyone is, what is sad is promoting people based on BS. Why would you make the head of all the specialized Patrol Division Units who are supposed to be deployed to kick ass in the Districts that exeprience spikes in crime etc. be led by the old Commander of 018. WTF!!! What are you thinking????? Put someone there that has worked in a high crime, busy district that know what it means and how important it is to have someone out here backing us up, but most importantly have them where we need the help most. I wouldn't stand and fight with the fucking Commander now ADS anyday!

Also, how could you dump the Commander of 011? That district has been a dump since the beginning of CPD. What was he supposed to do? The savages are going to kill each other not matter who the Commander is. He worked his ass off, didn't get what he needed to do the fucking job, has a Deputy Cheif who has no experience in high crime areas so he is not good and cannot help and his Chief is waiting for retirement, no help there. No one wants to work in 011 so he was stuck with new guys with no one to really train them, any supervisor there just didn't have a phone call, so they are pissed and the 2nd in Commnad fucked it up well before he left so Eric Washington got stuck with shit from day one!

Why not hold Dugans ass accountable for the Districts. He is the boss. What has he done, and I am serious, post this question, what the fuck has he done to lead? All he has done was request a whole lot of fucking reports and then send out emails telling everyone what they should be doing. What the fuck are you doing? Hanging out with incomptent as Cuello, thats what! The really stupid being guided by the really stupid!

Comm. Eric Washington, I didn't get to work with you very long, but you are a great boss. Don't worry, you will be making a hell of a lot more money as a lieutenant, you will be getting 45 minutes everyday so you will be padding your retirement, you will actually get paid for overtime, you will not be working 90 hours a week and getting absolutely and acknowledgement for it and you won't have to listen to the assholes sorry excuse for bosses at those weekly bullshit meetings!

It's like a carnival, shells games and bullshit flying.For the few decent bosses, keep your head down, I guess an occupational hazard, as far as the fucksticks, well you can hide them anywhere you want, their still what they are, political hacks at the least.

Sad part is you gotta start at the top, until then, it's just a shell game.

How can you sit on here and say how good of a job Georges did when he has always had a sweet spot! Put that motherfucker in 003, 004, 006, 009 or 022. Lets see how this motherfucker does there, then tell me how great of a job he did and how great of a fucking boss he is. Let him work just 1 period in any of those districts and lets see how great of a job he does! Fuck you JFED, Jimmie Jackson and should be in fucking jail Cuello! Out of the whole crew at this part time, no one can think of one nice fucking thing to say about the top 3.

Hey Eric, keep your head up! Sounds like the people in 011 liked and respected you. No one can fix that shit neighborhood or the people in it. Go back to narcotics, no 12 days unpaid, make some OT and enjoy your days off and free time.

It is a shame that we are losing Commander Washington. He is a smart, and personable boss. The idiots who are running this show must have thought he shot the seven people 2 nights ago. You will be missed boss. Whoever this Penny person is, I'm sure she's a company woman. It doesn't really matter though, you can keep beating a dead horse all you want, it won't run any faster. If you want more activity, this is the wrong way to get it. We're all tired, tired of no contract, tired of higher taxes, tired of backlogs, tired of event number, tired of missions, tired of the ghetto.

Georgas has got to be heavier than whale shit. How can this guy who was the W/C during the van incident in the Green a few years ago get out of that cluster fuck completely unscathed, then come back to 018 as the D/C nonetheless and now promoted to ADS? I don't get it. I just fucking don't get it.

Georgas, I hear is next in line for something very big. His brother is right behind him, made sgt after 3 yrs, PLEASE,. But I heard he was involved in getting 2 P.O's fired in 018 as a Lt. back in the day. He did not get all the info. or do proper investigation and they lost their jobs. But they had to go thru hell and back to work for this dump of a dept. Any truth to this?

*************ALERT*****************This just into our newsroom, looks like SWAT will no longer be getting easy overtime at both airports! Was someone to tired? Sorry it took 1 idiot, to ruin everything for you hard chargers! Just came across the fax!!

"6:35P.M.,Georgas clout is the Greek Community,they always have a couple of bosses.Georgas and Caluris are the current bosses."

FYI, Dean The Dream Andrews aint Swedish. The Greek Community can't number more than 100,000 in Chicago but they sure do have the hooks in the upper ecehelons of the CPD. Guess all those Restaurant Owners Kids made Good?

Why can't the FOP just agree to a 55 and 25 retirement deal with no strings attached? If you are 55 years old and have 25 years on the job you can retire with medical benefits! Why all the "fine print? Just another scam the FOP, the Pension board and Daley were discussing one night while they were all in bed together! The con game just never ends! Dineen, Nolan, Donahue, Daley! "I want to report a theft in progress!"

Clearly you never worked in 011 you imbisile. The "2nd in Command" Jackson was one hell of a boss and everyone in the district will agree. But you're right...he MUST be responsible for the past 50 years of ghetto bullshit.

And "no one wants to work in 011"?...clearly you have never had the balls to do it. Crawl back under Jody's desk at 35th street and keep your useless comments to yourself.

Finally, they made a promotion that makes some kind of sense. Georgas was in SOS, TRU and the Marine/Helicopter Unit. It certainly makes sense that he would get Special Functions.

7/30/2009 07:38:00 PM

He has the 'experience of his command'... really? What experience is that? When he was not in a cush unit, he was in a cush district. While he is NOT a bad guy, call a duck a duck.. they guy is hooked up and taken care of...

Georgas, I hear is next in line for something very big. His brother is right behind him, made sgt after 3 yrs, PLEASE,.

YES... short version...sg was acting dc, screwed up baaaad on the paper, and a guy from the watch who was just about the last on-scene was left holding the bag... total bs.. he lost his job and his house and is now finally back on the job. Meanwhile, sg is a rising star. nice.

Commander Washington, it has been a previlege to work with you in 011. I have never had a boss who knew the first names of everyone under his/her command and was as nice and approachable as you are. You always stood up for us and we are grateful. And to the higher up who used an excuse of 7 mutts getting shot to get your person a commander spot, shame on you. You just ruined a great place to work. And to this new boss, if you suck as much as they say, you will see activity go to nothing during your short tenure.

How much experience did JFED have at being the police and wasn't his first year here one of the worst in the history of Chicago? He received the first vote of no confidence ever in the history of CPD, we marched against this motherfucker and he is still here? Him and his sorry excuse for a police group are going to cost the city millions of dollars with the new "lets all shoot in the car and just aim for the passenger" rule. Why is he still in charge. The city is trying to get the biggest money maker in history and you have the biggest idiot leading CPD. This is true slow down I have experienced in 24 years. As anyone paying attention?

I only had a few experiences with her and each of those were with her degrading and talking down to officers like she was the barometer of effective policing. I doubt she ever worked the streets. Nasty attitude that is out to prove her superiority it seemed.

She deserves it based on what???

She hit the medical for months prior to her Sgts exam and left all her fellow PO's shorthanded while she sat home and studied in total comfort like she was entitled to it.

When it came time for the Lt's exam, guess what? She did it again! So if you respect that kind of behavior from your superiors, you must be some inside clouted asshat... Or, hello? ? ?Is that you, Allison?

Wow… So far, I’ve read a handful of posts regarding the dump of Commander E. Washington. I’ve been reading this blog for a while. Never a day goes by where you don’t hear “Fuck this boss”, “That Boss is a jag-off”, “This one is a prick”, “That one is a scrotum”. I’ll admit I’ve worked for some that the aforementioned, and some that are the best, and many in between. It astounds me that in all of the posts regarding Commander Washington: NOT A BAD ONE! A Boss that “GETS IT”, one that “looks out for the Police”, and he gets dumped? And those accolades from the “working” Police. Ones unlike your badge, Jody; are earned, NOT GIVEN! Ooohhh, a bunch of animals shot another bunch of animals on the west side, ooohhh… Every day occurrence you can’t stop unless you let us be the “real” Police again. Morale was up in 011 since Commander Washington got there, Morale high on your “to-do” list Jody? Or just another bullshit phrase you toss out to the media? Along the same lines of “I didn’t have Cozzi indicted, I just showed someone the tape.” Or “I’d quit if I thought I was the problem.” I digress, cause this one aint about you “chief little-big-head”, its about someone who’s the “Real” Police.

Well, Eric, look at it this way: Less Stress, Less Bullshit, Less Assholes. Less pay, but you’ll make up for that in O.T. Still get to be with some "Working" Police, Enjoy the RDO’s And remember, brother: Illegitimi non carb orundum!

From someone who knows whats on the back of the Raising Hell T-Shirt. & bring Teddy with you!

Historically, the alderman of the ward where the district is located has a HUGE, HUGE say in who gets made commander. I dunno what's going on here; but, believe me, it's been in the works for some while.

YES... short version...sg was acting dc, screwed up baaaad on the paper, and a guy from the watch who was just about the last on-scene was left holding the bag... total bs.. he lost his job and his house and is now finally back on the job. Meanwhile, sg is a rising star. nice.

7/31/2009 12:25:00 AM

How about..truer version...P.O. shows up, does something stupid, doesn't listen because he is a numbskull, gets himself fired and alot of good coppers jammed up, blows a good arrest, and incredibly... gets his job back.

Count on Eve Gushes as commander of vice. She put in numerous years in vice and deserves the promotion. Qualified and educated. She is very tight with Ernie Brown. Weiss said she deserved to be an exempt. She is street smart and has a PHD. An excellent choice.

So J-FUCK decides to dump Commander Washington! And this fucked up Department wonders why morale is so low! LOOK IN THE FUCKING MIROR J-FUCK! It's the picture of a TOTAL ASSHOLE! I had the pleasure of working for Commander Washington when he was Sgt. and not 1 day went by that he didn't back up his troops, talk to us like we were humans and was always there to help us. Eric, yes I'll call him Eric after all the shit trenches we went through - you will be back in a higher command very soon and whoever has the pleasure of working for you will understand the words I just wrote!

That incident in Cabrini was in March/April 2003. Georgas was LT. and the paper was done by a tact guy (now merit SGT. in 023). Same guy that should have been fired after the incident at Mike's (on Webster) years ago. It's not Georgas who lied and made shit up. He's fair if your not a f(*kup, like so many are now in 018. (yes, all of you dogasses that have transfered in from ghetto districts.)

Steve Georgas is a smart guy and a good supervisor. Congrats Boss!! He makes smart decisions- that's what we need people. Case you haven't noticed, we're surrounded by idiots. Let's hope he can right this course a little. His brother on the other hand, no thanks.

7/31/2009 12:25:00 AM

If its the incident in 018 6 years ago you are talking about First he was a Lt not a D/C, Second-he was caught on camera putting hands on an offender, he was told to do a TRR and didnt. How does this make SG out to be the bad guy? Does that refresh your memory?

Were these weis' decisions? If he can't figure out that PENNY dosen't have a clue and shouldn't be promoted, then it wasnt WEIS' decision, it was DALYS'! Same with GEORGAS, somebody whispered in WEIS' ear and told him what to do. Show us you have a pair of BALLS WEIS! Get rid of your CHIEF OF PATROL [DUGAN], he's just a hack with no clue his whole career. Put him in 011, see what he can do, and don't forget those event #'s!

J-Fed,Masters,anyone???: While you're making these changes don't forget to include Gene Roy from 009. I don't care if you demote,promote or fire him just get him the hell out of the 009th district. He's an egotistical,vindictive prick who has put the morale of 009 into a nosedive. If you could just move this goof it would be christmas in July for all of us in the 009th district.

ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND !!!Nobody in these positions of management are any more qualified than a civilian lock up keeper, or anybody for that matter to do thier jobs. If you were not so stupid and blind, you would know they are PUT in these spots. So what qualified them to begin the climb to fame when they all started as uneducated, "First job in thier life" rookies?. There are plenty of Officers that have many levels of higher education, and actually had other jobs before becoming Police Officers, and have experience in life leading and motivating people. So, what you say pal, is complete idiocy. Unless your a boss perhaps.

I am the guy that said georgas isnt a bad dude. Everyone has an opinion! I have NO CLOUT and have dealt with him only on a few limited occasions and he seemed ok with me. I mean if you are in 018 and bitching then maybe you need to be the real police somewhere and find out that you dont have it too bad. Its fucking 018, any cock sucker could be the boss there and you still work in a cake district. If you dont like my opinion thats fine but dont assume because I have one, that Im a clout baby. Because I guarantee yoy everyone on this job knows more people than me. And Im a first generation copper unlike so many of you suckasses that have daddy making phone calls for you. If you dont like him thats fine too, like I said be a man and let people have an opinion

anyone in 018 would whine about any cmndr they got. They are there because they dont want to work anyways. Believe me, I worked in busy places and in 018 and i got out. Too many suckass non police whiners that are only worried about eating for free at a good restaurant

To blow a 4 day a month do nothing overtime gig like this how dumb could you be to blow this? Who was sleeping? what a goof! Thanks for messing it up for us!

R U Fucking Nuts? He has no idea of how to be the really police. Took the test in April on in Nov., promoted soon after, and just keeps going up. The guy must be a genius! If he's so great, and such a good test taker, let him pass the Cal. bar, the CPA exam or become a doctor, or something. Guranteed, he couldn't survive w/o clout, in the real world, where brains, not Greek $ connects count. Pay to play, and Georgas family sure does.

Random thoughts here...Penny Trahanas never made 'meritorious' Sgt. It didn't exist when she was promoted.Second, Penny is approachable, but no one is gonna run a game on her. She has standards. Find out what they are and meet them, no problem.Third, the 'last name' comment. Many women mainþain their married name after a divorce; it's often easier to keep the name you've answered to for most of your adult life if you've been married for awhile. If you have young kids, it makes it simpler to have the same last name as your kids.It's HER decision, you don't want to go there. Having worked with the previous Cmdr of 011 and the incoming one, I can say they are both highly respected and competent people, much moreso than the assholes pulling the strings of their careers.

Sorry about the dump. Any chance I can work for you in Narcotics?I've had the chance to work with Lt. Penny Trahanas at the gun turn ins.If you think talking down to the police is a way to motivate workers, then Penny is the answer! Nice job J-Fed.You are again showing the city what a goof you are.

I've known CO Washington almost 20 years and whata stand up guy! We worked together and played together and I'm ashamed that the real police are always getting dumped.It solidifies the reason I must leave this job as soon as humanely possible. We havebecome a department of paper police. We once took pride in making arrest and cleaning up the street. Have we lost the battle? when its not enough to work diligently and come up through the ranks and try to make a difference, whats the point? As a ot its time to make that move. Luv ya Eric KC 005

Who gives a FLYIN' F**K who Georgas' clout is??? He's a hell of a boss. He knows his stuff and is one of the most competent guys I know. Only the mutts hate him, and they should. He was gold to the guys who worked. Congrats to you Boss!

On the OTHER hand... Dumping Cmdr Washington is BULLSHIT! He's a great guy who was just sacrificed for raising the morale of his troops. I guess J-Fed wants more Commanders like silly Lilly in 003... Sorry Eric. Take comfort in knowing your men thought a whole lot more of you than two federal butt-pirates who wouldn't know a good copper if...you know...

Commander Georgas' good fortune started when he paired up with Chris Kennedy as partners. Chris Kennedy's father and Jimmy Mauer where partners moons ago. When Jimmy Maurer took care of Chris, Georgas rode the gravy train by association. This is why they both worked for Jimmy Maurer when he was Chief of Patrol and this is why the Chief allowed them to put TRU together. Georgas is merely going back to his creation. Hasn't anybody wondered why it is always the same handful of player's that keep getting the best spots. They are playing musical chairs with all the cush spots. Thanks Jimmy Mauer!!

AGAIN - wrong information. Georgas was the WC as a Lt. He had just made Lt. He fucked everything up - BUT the officer who lost his job fucked himself. Watch the tape before you speak.

YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD. THE ONLY PEOPLE I EVER HEARD COMPLAIN ABOUT GEORGAS WERE THE DOG ASS OFFICERS OF THE 018TH DISTRICT. THEY DON'T DO ANYTHING. DON'T BLAME THE COMMANDER - SEND THESE FUCK UPS BACK TO THE GHETTO WHERE THEY WILL FIT IT. NEVER SAW A DISTRICT WITH SO MANY DOGS IN MY LIFE.

5:48 PM. You are right, it wasn't merit. At that time it was called "standardization." People way out on the list were moved up so as to fill the number of minorities. Trahanas was over 1200 on the list in rank order and she was promoted with people who are 250 in rank order. If that had not used standardization, she would have been about 700 out when the list ws pulled. Call it what you want, it is still unqualified people being promoted either because of who they know or to pacify useless segments of the city's population becasue no politician has the balls to stand up to these worthless POS.

This is nothing but musical chairs, so some more useless pieces of shit can RAPE my pension. I have yet to hear of any dump or promotion that is worth wasting a comment on. Every single so-called gold star can KISS MY ASS. It has been several years since I have worked for anyone that had my back, or that I would go OUT and bring in what they claim to need.

Knew both of his parents, they ran a hotel restaurant in 018 (Andrews), both were very nice and good people.(no tax for de boys)

If you have young kids, it makes it simpler to have the same last name as your kids.It's HER decision, you don't want to go there. Having worked with the previous Cmdr of 011 and the incoming one, I can say they are both highly respected and competent people, much moreso than the assholes pulling the strings of their careers.

Thanks Penny. Sounds just like you. Attitude already. Penny made merit Det. and Sgt. Who you fooling. She's Dana's girl so she's always been taken care of. Stop the BS.

Gee...Washington getting dumped because of the shootings in 11... well...in the world of J-Fed...who is holding him personally responsible...Washington should have had his Officers go into every house in 11...tell momma to have their kids home by curfew, not to sling dope, or whistle, yell out 5-0, and go to school. Work jobs, not rape rob or steal, and become decent citizens of their community. Don't worry Eric...you know who your friends are...THE REAL POLICE and who your enemies are...Ministers of Crime and J-Fed.

commander washington knew how to deal with his troops and the public. he was diplomatic and supportive. he just couldn't figure his way out of jfed's trickbag. but who could? good luck boss. we'll see you again.

Finally, they made a promotion that makes some kind of sense. Georgas was in SOS, TRU and the Marine/Helicopter Unit. It certainly makes sense that he would get Special Functions. Like the guy or not, he does have the experience of his command. Hopefully, he will now correct the things that were wrong with all of these units in the past.

There is an old saying, you don't miss your water until your well runs dry. Too bad you officer's in 011 didn't let your performance prove how much you liked Eric Washington. The activity in 011 was very low. There is no excuse when offenders literally jump in your squad car in that district. You all got him dumped with lack of activity.

Count on Eve Gushes as commander of vice. She put in numerous years in vice and deserves the promotion. Qualified and educated. She is very tight with Ernie Brown. Weiss said she deserved to be an exempt. She is street smart and has a PHD. An excellent choice.

ANOTHER GENIUS. GUSHES knows what streets lead to the bakery. That's the total extent of her street smarts.

Lack of activity in 011? Check your facts before typing genius. How about lack of manpower? First watch routinely downs beat cars, and third watch rarely has a rapid, or even a traffic car. The guys in 011 may not be happy with the hierarchy of the department, but to try to cite lack of activity is just foolish.

That incident in Cabrini was in March/April 2003. Georgas was LT. and the paper was done by a tact guy (now merit SGT. in 023). Same guy that should have been fired after the incident at Mike's (on Webster) years ago. It's not Georgas who lied and made shit up. He's fair if your not a f(*kup, like so many are now in 018. (yes, all of you dogasses that have transfered in from ghetto districts.)

YOU ARE COMPLETELY OUT OF YOUR MIND!!!!! That's NOT what happened. Georgas screwed up. Plus even before that, he always thought he was better than his fellow PO's - he's an idiot!

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.Good one Eve. Thanks for the good laugh. I needed that after working so hard for someone as respected and trusted as you.

No he's not. That incident went bad from the start. Making up lies doesn't erase video or change the facts. P.O.'s made bad decisions that let that situation escalate. Nothing Georgas did or did not do changed these facts. Most people looking at suspensions never saw them. Clout protects... along with not trying to cover up a 'goatfuck'. BAAAHAAAA!

the only greek that deserves anything on this job is the one who keeps getting passed over. sgt. kereakes from s.w.a.t. worked the street every day of his career and was the c.h.a. police before that. even took a bullet a year ago. but wait he tells people the truth about themselves and this job. no body wants a guy like that around.

To the idiot that posted that the Cabrini incident was handled badly by the po who wrote the paper and it wasn't Georgas fault, go sharpen a few more pencils at your desk spot. Anyone who has ever been at a even a moderately serious scene where bosses are involved knows that the bosses are going to be involved in the paperwork. And anyone who knows this sgt knows he is a standup guy. So GFY

Eve, we know you have proven many times over that you would do anything to get ahead, but writing about yourself and how deserving you are and then giving yourself recommendations by EB and J-Fed doesn't exactly show the intelligence you claim you have.Saying you had "street smarts" was way over the top also. The closest you got to the street was as desk sgt. in 011 for about two months before you went to the Academy with about 3 (not exaggerating) years total on the job. You havent seen the street since (Which is a very very good thing for patrol)

Who the fuck cares? They rearrange these fucks regularly, so the fuck what! It isn't like most of them ever leave an imprint beyond their picture on the wall next to other grinning suckholes just like them.

I would not want to belong to that club. there is no one, NO ONE, in the ranks of exempt command staff who I respect or admire.

One former female commander, now captain in 016, is known for giving some sage advice to young female police officers: "never fuck anyone who can't help you."

Typical attitude of our command staff, most would eat their young to get ahead. No thanks, I don't take promotional tests any more, if they were to give one that is. All that is left of me in this job is my body, when I go in. They lost me completely and will never get me back. My heart and mind are somewhere else.

CPD as usual. Good competent bosses never rise. Instead they reach to the bottom of the barrel. I was sickened when I heard who was promoted to 011. Had the opportunity, or should I say the dreaded experience to work for her. She will fail and the Dept will just move her up the ladder again.

Wow. Right now I am sitting at home looking on the internet for another life because I am so tired and sad of feeling exactly like you described. I cannot believe how much I regret wasting my life as a chicago policeman for the exact reasons you mentioned. Its never been the bad guy who ruined my day, its always been the department supervisors I was forced to work under. I feel your pain brother and appreciate knowing I am not alone.

Yoo hoo Evie - you have united us as one against you. YOu transparent incompetent liar. Keep talking about your subordinates stupid. It gives us good conversation. Pay us taxpayers back the 1.6 million you single handedly cost the city because of your racist arrest. Nightie night.

YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD. THE ONLY PEOPLE I EVER HEARD COMPLAIN ABOUT GEORGAS WERE THE DOG ASS OFFICERS OF THE 018TH DISTRICT. THEY DON'T DO ANYTHING. DON'T BLAME THE COMMANDER - SEND THESE FUCK UPS BACK TO THE GHETTO WHERE THEY WILL FIT IT. NEVER SAW A DISTRICT WITH SO MANY DOGS IN MY LIFE.

Get a clue dude....nobody in 18 could stand this idiot. We had o'donnell who was a great boss then we had Evans who was also great. The problem was neither of them were spineless yes men willing to jump through hoops like a slave piciking cotton so they both got moved, then dumped . They put Georgas in and he crawled so far up Keating's ass he could see bridgeport when jimmy yawned. He behaved like some arrogant mafia don to the troops but stepped and fetched for any political dweeb or rich liberal. Micro-managing, paper-pushing kiss ass without a doubt but not a leader by any stretch of the imagination. Willing to fuck over his own white shirts just as fast as he would any patrolman. Oh Yeah, soo much special functions experience! Clout hack PO , Prima-Donna Sgt.in TRU, short time Cmdr in Marine Unit who wouldn't even let one of his guys use comp-time to attend his wife's promotion ceremony and then jammed him up when the guy got pissed off and foolishly went on the medical. Never worked a day in any hot district. After being a dog ass po up north had his folks get him to 18 with each "promotion". Make him do a period in 11 or 15 or 2 or 10 or 8 or 14 etc.... and he'd shit himself like a gyro dropped of the sears tower. He's NOT Mara's brother but they are related somehow as they attend each other's family functions. Dumped one of his Lts for trying to make him abide by the contract (and to make room for another of Keating's lackeys who made LT and went right to 18). Buried another's par form when he tried bidding out of 18. Even Capt. C., who's one of the best bosses ever, can't stand him. He'll fit right in with the current back stabbing eddie haskel regime donwtown.

So sorry to hear your buddy (you) got jammed up and threw a shoe over the wifey's coronation ceremony. What a complete lack of respect. How dare they do this to us (you)!

I wish I'd known sooner. A sympathy card is on the way to your grieving pal (you) in Unit 045. I'm just sorry it's so late.

Too many suckass non police whiners that are only worried about eating for free at a good restaurant

I've spent over 30 years on this job and was working in the ghetto before most of the cops on this dept were born. I worked in 015 and 011 when the CVLs were a "social organization" and had a storefront.

Here is a little history lesson. That was before FOP, before watch bids and taking one to central detention meant riding the freight elevator at 11/State.

We worked around the clock - all three watches, change day every 28 days ... TOGETHER! We had watch parties, cops were cops and the phrase "real police" meant something.

There are coppers in 018 that forgot more about police work than 90% of the bosses on this job have ever known.
